16 March 2023
Xiaomi's heavy reliance on budget smartphones has backfired.

    the point remains, Samsung sells better, not necessarily a better phone than Xiaomi. Poco F4 GT or Xiaomi 12 far better than Galaxy A54.

      Ppl getting expensive phones on loan basis points towards spending more money than u earn. Not a good attitude but unfortunately indians have become like tat, giving more importance to phones rather than spending diligently and save money for the family. Seen many ppl very reluctant to pay doctor fees and self medicate while they spend money to pay loans for smartphones. Very bad attitude.

        If you mention the A52s, it only has the SD 778G and 3.5mm jack over the A54, everything else is better on the A54.

          [deleted post]Man this will never happens.
          Comapring specs and price xiaomi always wins because for much less price it gives much more specs.

            [deleted post]Superior by only 50% but price is at least 500% cheaper

              Man said crapmi is way better than buying Apple for 1000.
              Rather will buy every 2 years new device than keep one for 5 years which still gets updates to software but hardware wont keep up with latest apps, games and many else.

              Xiaomi at least gives charger, cable and case to most of the phones Apple gives nothing just Bloatware IOS not worth the price.
              Phone where you cant set even themes needs another bloatware to connect PC and Phone is just plain bad.
              The only reason Crapple have such big sales is marketing nothing else.

                [deleted post]Every year lol why would upgrade every year no one force you. Assuming you upgrade every 5 years iphone..tell me what's your current iphone? Iphone x? Iphone 8? If you onwed iphone 11 or above you are lying that you aren't upgrade every 5 years as you said xD

                  Muthu, 16 Mar 2023Well said. Case is point - recently launched Samsung Galaxy... moreOh yeah, there is absolutely no difference between both phones *sarcasm*

                    Only stock android is better.
                    Any UI is nothing but tons of bloatware consuming lot of ram and disk space giving to user tons of apps and icons which are already there by google and usually better.
                    Anyway most users are everything ewlse but no tech geeks which use only most basic apps and tasks.
                    For those 90-98% anything apart most basiuc like calls, text, camera, brownser is nothing but a bloatware.

                        [deleted post]If saving money was the most important factor, then 300-400 USD A34 or A54 with 5 years software support were the best choice.

                          Narazumono, 16 Mar 2023Samsung dethrones Xiaomeme everywhere and in everything Not true Xiaomi flagships are way better than Samsung flagships because of 1 inch sensor better cameras, charger in box and propper fast charging capabilities.
                          In pricing is Xiaomi also better. For price of one A54 nXiaomi sells a lot better specced devices. Such as Redmi 12 Discovery edition, best midranger up to the date.

                            It is expected growth only. Samsung changed the approach for India 2-2.5 years back and it is now paying off. Samsung still cuts some corners with internal component specifications like weaker processors (in low-mid ranges), eMMC storage, Single speaker and plastic body, etc. But it is beyond the note of average Joe.

                                It's better to switch phones every 18 month where you get your android updates and hardware updates for the same money you save up to buy 5 years of updates on iphone

                                  Samath N8 808 owner, 16 Mar 2023Online, I saw Snapdragon 750G enabled Samsung F23 phone ret... moreS20 FE is 2.5 years old device now and getting it for 30k is dumb idea in 2023. It is 2023 now, not 2021..

                                    A54 floop a52 SD 778G 99% better

                                      So to sum it up. The company with more money and more staff can sell more expensive phones, which it makes more devices worldwide than Xiaomi, also putting more money in to advertising and making deals with companies/offering deals Xiaomi just cant essentially buying back the market share. Got it.

                                      Not really news its just simple logic that anyone should be able to see through and understand. People want to feel apart of something and samsung convinces them they need to buy their devices to be apart of society and accepted after hundreds of their ads being drilled in to your head daily (living in the age of social media where you're online persona means more than real life at times and easier for companies to subliminally hit you with ad after ad after ad), same strategy apple uses and has done for years.

Case is point - recently launched Samsung Galaxy A54 is almost similar to Samsung Galaxy A52s which was launched 1.5 years ago. People can look into the specs comparison in the link https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=11039&idPhone2=12070. A54's launch price (40K INR) is about 15% higher than A52s's launch price (35K INR, if I remember correctly). So the situation with Samsung is similar to what we see with Chinese OEMs. There is no difference.
